In the dark of night, you somehow find your way
Keeping time with the serpentine and the plagued
In the misty morning, by the ache of the day
At the crossroads of black and white, you fade to grey
Your web is spun, your bed is made
That gaping hole inside is where you’re laid
You’ve done the deeds, you paid your toll
Twisted and taken is all you know
I called your bluff, I played your game
I sat you on your throne to keep you free and sane
And how do you repay me? Through pain and guilt
How long can you justify the hand that you’ve been dealt?
With a trail of lies, you only get lost
Blinded by greed, to win at all costs
From dawn to dusk, you scour the land
Waiting for some poor old fuck, to come and take your hand
You’ve had your fun, you've had your day
You've had your everything, you're so fake
And now the time has come at last
You will now answer to screams of the past
Behind that cold dead stare, there is a void
Not a trace of decency, it has been destroyed
What you need you cannot have, nor would you want
Your hollowness is bliss for you, you have no flaws
I called your bluff, I played your game
I sat you on your throne, to keep you free and sane
And how do you repay me? Through pain and guilt
How long can you justify, the hand that you’ve been dealt?
